Member Function Documentation

[signal] void IFindSupport::changed()

This signal is emitted when the search changes.

[virtual] void IFindSupport::clearFindScope()

Clears the find scope.

[pure virtual] void IFindSupport::clearHighlights()

Clears highlighting of search results in the searched widget.

[pure virtual] QString IFindSupport::completedFindString() const

Returns the complete search string.

[pure virtual] QString IFindSupport::currentFindString() const

Returns the current search string.

[virtual] void IFindSupport::defineFindScope()

Defines the find scope.

[pure virtual] Core::IFindSupport::Result IFindSupport::findIncremental(const QString &txt, Utils::FindFlags findFlags)

Performs an incremental search of the search term txt using findFlags.

[pure virtual] Core::IFindSupport::Result IFindSupport::findStep(const QString &txt, Utils::FindFlags findFlags)

Searches for txt using findFlags.

[virtual] void IFindSupport::highlightAll(const QString &txt, Utils::FindFlags findFlags)

Highlights all search hits for txt when using findFlags.

[virtual] void IFindSupport::replace(const QString &before, const QString &after, Utils::FindFlags findFlags)

Replaces before with after as specified by findFlags.

[virtual] int IFindSupport::replaceAll(const QString &before, const QString &after, Utils::FindFlags findFlags)

Finds and replaces all instances of before with after as specified by findFlags.

[virtual] bool IFindSupport::replaceStep(const QString &before, const QString &after, Utils::FindFlags findFlags)

Replaces before with after as specified by findFlags, and then performs findStep().

Returns whether the find step found another match.

[pure virtual] void IFindSupport::resetIncrementalSearch()

Resets incremental search to start position.

[virtual] void IFindSupport::selectAll(const QString &txt, Utils::FindFlags findFlags)

Finds and selects all instances of txt with specified findFlags.

[static] void IFindSupport::showWrapIndicator(QWidget *parent)

Shows parent overlayed with the wrap indicator.

[pure virtual] Utils::FindFlags IFindSupport::supportedFindFlags() const

Returns the find flags, such as whole words or regular expressions, that this find filter supports.

Depending on the returned value, the default find option widgets are enabled or disabled.

The default is Uitls::FindBackward, Utils::FindCaseSensitively, Uitls::FindRegularExpression, Uitls::FindWholeWords, and Uitls::FindPreserveCase.

[pure virtual] bool IFindSupport::supportsReplace() const
